Stamford Excited.
THE TAXPAYERS GRUMBLING OVER THE WAY THINGS
 ARE RUN IN THE TOWN.


 ARE RUN IN THE TOWN.
 STAMFORD Conn, Nov. 2.-Stamford taxpayers are getting disgusted over the condition of the streets and are beginning to raise howl about it. First the water company tore them up then the construction of the sewer made it necessary to disturb them, and last the horse railroad company has made them very rough and unpleasant to ride over. For over year the Stamford taxpayers have stood the disgraceful condition of the streets and now have come to the conclusion that it is about time to protest. The last straw was the laying of the track through Summer street. This section has only few houses in it and the horse railroad company laid it's tracks through the center of the narrow street almost before anyone knew what was being done. The charter gives it the privilege but the people contend that embankment on each side of the track that makes vehicle going through that street strike an attitude of fully for ty-five degrees not contemplated at all by the charter. The News, Stamford's Democratic organ, told its readers that it was an outrage last week. but the old Republican organ, the Advocate, which has posed this fall the model of truth and ity, says nothing about it. This however, is ex- plained by the fact that w w. Gillespie, brother of the editor of the Advocate and part in the paper, is of the large of horse railroad Sto

EIGHT PER CENT.
Declared by the Derby Driving Ass,

Declared by the Derby Driving Asso-
 citation.
 The Derby Driving association has been in existence but little over year and has cap- ital stock of $7,O00. The first season it earned enough so that dividend could have been declared, but the directors deemed it best to wait and see what the result would be this season. Monday night the directors met at the office of the secretary in Derby and declared an eight per cent. dividend up- on the capital stock, and there remains in the hands of the association a reserve fund which if it had been used would have increased the dividend to nearly twenty-five per cent.

One Fact

is worth a column of rhetoric, said an Ameri- can statesman. It is a fact, established by the testimony of thousands of people, that Hoods Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases or affections aris- ing from impure state or low condition of the blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling, creates good appetite and gives strength to every part of the system. Try it.

STREET cLorH1ER ATTACHED
An Unnecessary Strain on Public Om-
 al


 The tax assessors office was visited yester- day by about twenty peoi le who had omitted making out their tax lists and now will have to pay ten per cent. extra. The assessors have one grievance. They are a very oblig ing set of men, but the law does not require them to make out peoples tax lists for them, excepting after the time the penalty applies. But these obliging men have with the utmost patience day after day, even when too hur- ried to do it, made out tax lists for many, many persons, most of whom are perfectly competent to make out their own lists. When work is slack at the office it is not great burden to do this, but when business is overwhelmingly rush. ing to subject the assessors to this extra work is putting their patience and urbanity to a fearful strain and some day an ebullition of surprising character may be expected from some of their number-an ebullition of na- ture akin to that which caused the ignomini- ous downfall of the captain of the Pinafore and caused the chorus of pretty maidens to stand aghast with horror.

 s'Sam Small, Evangelism
 The proverbial philosophy of 'FOld Si,' the venerable plantation darkey, who gave to the world through the medium of Small's pen maxims of worldly wisdom, clothed in a verbiage of irresistible humor, has found permanent place in humorous literature.
 Great surprise was shown when it was an der the ministrations of Sam Jones'" would become an evangelist
 At first thought humorist in the pulpit seems incongruous. Is it really so?
 No doubt the mere buffoon attempting to turn mems hearts to solemn truths would meet with only contempt. But truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine humor frequent ly illustrates and fastens in the mind bits of wisdom that would otherwise pass unheeded.
 In his eulogy of Henry Ward Beeeher Rev. Dr. Parker says: "Whenever he came among men he brought June sunshine and music, and made even desponding and surly men feel that fuller and warmer summer, sthe kingdom of heaven itself, was 'at hand.'' That is genial Christianity.
 MT. Small belongs to witty family. He has brother connected with Armoy KnoX's and ''Fat Contributors" Texas Siftings, 8 paper which has had phenomenal success in the field of humorous literature. MT. Frank A. Small is the present representative of that popular paper in England, and, like his distinguished brother, he takes deep inter est in the welfare of other people.
 Under date of AS Porten Road, Kensington w London, Eng, September 27th, 1887, he writes: ''While at Yalding in Kent yester- day met Professor s. Williams, head mas ter of the Cleaves Endowed school In the course of conversation about America Pro- lessor Williams remarked that Warmers safe cure had been of great benefit to his wife, who had been much troubled with disor dered liver Warmers safe cure Gan Ameri- can preparation) was all she had taken, and she had experienced none of her old trouble for some months past.
 Mrs. Annie Jenness- Miller, editor of the New York Dress, and a very popular woman in the fashionable world, says in her own magazine for October: "Warner's safe cure is the only medicine 1 ever take or recom- mend. In every instance it gives new ener- gy and vitality to all my powers" This dis tinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is ''peculiarlY effective"
 Sam Small is likely to succeed as a moral teacher. When we remember how near to- gether in human nature lie the fountains of laughter and of tears. the deep effect his dis closures must have on the masses can easily be imagined.
 "Why did God make so much outdoorss" exclaimed little girl. We know not He has made it and we should grow in it broad, charitable and genial, judging everything by merit, not by prejudice.

Every comparison Of that war with the
rebellion makes the fighting in the former
seem pretty moderate.
For example, Gen. Taylor started out with
1916, he encountered force of Mexicans-
estimated 10 be 6,O00-at Palo Alto. After
fighting five hours the Mexicans retreated,
having lost about 100 men. The American
loss was four killed and 40 wounded. The
next day the battle was renewed at Resaca
de la Palma, but the losses DO not seem TO
have been reported. Taylor then pushed on
10 Matamoras, which he took possession of
without opposition, and remained there I'M
I'll September, when, his force being increased
TO 6,G25 men, he started out to attack Mon
terey, which was defended by 10000 MeXi-
cans. The fighting began on the 10Th and
lasted until the ed, when the Mexicans
were driven from the last stronghold about
the city. The American loss was 100 killed
and 36S wounded; Mexican loss unknown.
Taylor made Monterey his headquarters,
and portion Of his force was detached to
SCOTS column, leaving him 5000 men.
Santa Anna took 81 600 Mexican Regulars
and made dash across the country TO over
whelm and destroy Taylor before assistance
could reach him. Taylor made stand in
the mountain pass of Buena Vista, where
(Feb. %, 1870 Santa Anna attacked him,
and after two days heavy fighting was
driven of with loss of 1000 killed and
wounded The American loss in killed and
wounded was 746. This ended the fighting
of Taylors army.
Gen. Winfield Scott began his part Of the
invasion March z, 1Si7, by landing an army
of 1900 at Vera Cruz. The siege lasted
until the Doth, when the castle and city sur.
rendered The American loss in the three
weeks fighting was ca killed and wounded
Starting for the interior, Gen. Scott encoun
tered the enemy strongly posted ut CerrC
Gordo, mountain pass. A skillfully-manu
vered danking party gained the enemy
rear, and the victory was won. The Ameri
can loss was 63 killed and 3G3 wounded.
The next encounter with the enemy wa
; ut ContTeras and ChurubuscO, which wer
decided victories. The Americans los
in the two battles 139 killed and 90
wounded. The Mexican loss was 400
killed and wounded. The fighting of tn
war was closed by the struggles Of Chapulte
pee and Moline del Rey, at which the losse
were about half those Of the battles O
Chumbusco and Contreras.
The campaigns against Mexico were wei
planned and admirably fought, but almos
any day during the rebellion we had battle
in which the loss was greater than durin
the whole Mexican war.
